Lime Husk Cordial
Instructions
- After squeezing your limes for their juice, place the used lime husks in a canning jar. Pack them in, layering with sugar every couple of inches. Use a muddler to keep tamping down the lime husks. (Some juice will come out of the husks.) Keep layering until jar is full, with no air bubbles. For every cup of sugar used, add ½ cup of water. Top with canning lid. Let sit for at least 24 hours. Take the contents out and drain well to obtain the syrup. Add about 1 ounce vodka for every 3—4 cups of the juice/syrup mixture. Bottle and refrigerate. Use the lime cordial to make Gimlets, Daiquiris, soothies and limeades, and on ice cream.
